Phytoremediation of Toxic Metals

Using Plants to Clean Up the Environment
Phytoremediation is a cleanup method for heavy metal contamination in soil and water that draws upon the metal accumulating properties of certain plants. Sufficiently low cost to allow the cleanup of sites previously considered unfeasible, it also preserves topsoil and reduces the amount of hazardous materials generated during cleanup.
Seitdem man entdeckte, daß sich in manchen Pflanzen bestimmte Metalle anreichern, sucht man nach Wegen, solche Pflanzen gezielt zur Dekontamination metallverseuchter Böden einzusetzen. Diese sogenannte Phytoremediation erlaubt die schadstoffarme, strukturschonende und zudem preiswerte Entgiftung von Geländen, die mit anderen Methoden nicht behandelt werden können. Dieses Buch diskutiert den Weg des Verfahrens vom Labor auf das Feld sowie verschiedene einzelne Prozeßschritte. (01/00)
